9. Under Drive [Volume Label], click the drive that contains the paging file you want to change. Select it by making it blue.

Note Apparently increases in size usually don’t require you to restart your computer for the changes to take effect, but if you decrease the size, you’ll need to restart your computer. However it asked me to restart when I increased my size. Make sure you do not disable or delete the paging file.

If this does not get rid of your problem then there might be a problem with your computer RAM (random access memory). You should check your RAM to see if the right amount is showing in Windows.
